Bad Karma, or Just Bad Luck?

Well, after watching My Name is Earl, or whatever the correct name of the show is, on NBC last night (which I think is hilarious) I started thinking about Karma and all the people I’ve been evil to in my life. Although I do think the good I’ve done has out-weighed the bad, I’m starting to feel paranoid.

This morning was total chaos. Woke up a little late. I thought since I woke up at 6:20 yesterday morning and had more than enough extra time that if I woke up at 6:30 today I’d be okay. For some reason, I was in a hurry. Packed Mario’s lunch since he got home late and I didn’t have his lunch bag, Jaylen woke up early so I got his breakfast ready, got Eenan ready, and I don’t even know what else.

Ricci and I left the house and everything was going smoothly till we reached Mission. We saw people going off the road, into the grass median and into the Frontage road. There were TONS of people so I started to panic. Sure enough, about 100 feet in front of us there was a traffic jam due to a car accident up ahead. Ricci told me to go ahead and cut through the grass, and I had a really bad feeling about it so I sort of stalled, then went for it. All was fine until I had to pass over the huge curb…the bottom of the car made a huge screeching then booming sound–I thought for sure I’d broken something, but we went on since traffic was mad.

The Frontage road was no different from the Expressway. It was congested and moving at a snail’s pace. While we were slowly trudging along we notice we’re already in McAllen, and above on the Expressway there was yet another car accident. It felt like forever by the time we got back on the Expressway and got to school. We had to call Mrs. C-R. to let her know we’d be tardy.

We got to the school and I checked the car for any damage. Good news: I only dented the undercarriage (or whatever it’s called; I’m a girl, sue me!) on the left side a little. Bad news: my tires REALLY need to be aligned now. I swear that poor car’s going to fall apart because of my retarded driving .

I hope Mario got to work ok. I didn’t call him during my first break to warn him about the traffic jam. I know he’ll probably be pissed because for the 2nd day in a row I didn’t set the alarm correctly. It would really suck to get into some petty argument over something like the alarm. I don’t need it today !

I have to pick Mom up after we’re done here, then go see Gramma and then drop her off. I have a bad feeling because of all the madness from this morning that I’m PRAYING nothing odd/horrible happens the rest of the day. .

Mayra didn’t come to school today. What happened Mayra!?! Hope you’re okay.

Oh, and Rita’s now a Category 4…lovely!

I was thinking about you throughout the day. Did you leave? A couple of friends who live near and around Houston have been on the road for HOURS trying to get out of there….

Hope you are doing well. God bless…
